Zumbrota State TheatreBuilt in 1921 by August Klug, the architect was Zumbrota native Charles L. Grover, for a cost of $38,000. Built as a vaudeville house, radio shows, plays, and silent movies were shown here and when the talkies came into use in 1929, it was used mostly for movies.

The Zumbrota Area Arts council purchased the building in 2011. Movies and concerts along with live theatre and educational events have been hosted here.
